BBC Breakfast

\nWhen Sian and Bill can only tell the worst
\nWith politics and finance on the slide
\nAt least you\u2019ll know you knew disaster first
\nWith film stars on the sofa to one side<\/p>\n
When British teams are held to boring draws
\nAnd records tumble in another game
\nThere\u2019ll be a cheerful face to read the scores
\nAnd tell us all the managers to blame<\/p>\n
A Minister and shadow pick a fight
\nBehind one head a fool makes rabbit ears
\nThe viewers know that neither one is right
\nThey told us all the same for many years<\/p>\n
The time is up no longer can you shirk
\nYou\u2019ll have to run or miss the train to work<\/p>\n
